PhD Physics, able to tutor in science, math, engineering

I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It". By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result. I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem. I try to present the material in as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning.
I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years. I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later. This situation has left me open to new directions. My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics. My goal is ... read more

I am a recent graduate from Washington State University and I'm currently looking for employment in the Greater Seattle area. I have a degree in General Mathematics and enjoy helping others understand the material. I will work well with high school and younger students because they would not see me as another teacher because I will treat them as an equal and not a student. I also a a minor in English and have taken many engineering classes. Although I have no professional experience as a tutor, I have helped many of my friends understand the material. I would be a good choice because I had to get help in mathematics when I was an undergrad and I know how to relate and help the students that are having difficulty in mathematics.
I will work with the students and find where out where they are weakest. By doing so I will be able to give them the knowledge required to understand the ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a mom, I've learned to be patient and easy going. As a teacher, I try to find the best approach for individual students. Some of them need more guided practice and examples, while some benefit from independent work. My pace and level of difficulty in teaching will be determined by the student background and potential and it usually goes from slow/easy to harder/faster.
I've been teaching most of my life, first as a rank one student to my classmates and friends and later as a physics and math instructor. I enjoy showing the easy ways to go through complicated looking problems and concepts to my students and I like to witness their academic accomplishments which build the confident to be successful in life as well.

This is my favorite quotation because it expresses what, in my opinion, is the essence of science -- it is beautiful and poetic in its own right. The statement applies particularly well to chemistry, since there are so many everyday applications of this "central" science. In these few words, Spencer eloquently sums up the role of chemistry as a scientific discipline, in society, and in University classrooms. I have come to appreciate it more throughout my teaching career. After having taught lots of students, I have experienced the satisfaction of imparting some of this poetry to them.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning process and a sense of their own progress, however minimal it might seem at a particular time. Frustration is the primary obstacle to successful learning and overcoming it is the instructor’s chief task.
From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several s ... read more

I believe it is as important of learning subject as the learning skill. So I not only teach students the subject, but also teach them study skills. I love to use multimedia and all kinds of resources to create a fun learning experience for students. I tailor my classes differently based on different student's learning styles. I am patient and detail oriented. I provide students first-class tutoring service based on their individual needs.
Graduated with a master's degree, I have been teaching for 5 years. I believe in education and I have a passion for teaching. I have expertise in the following three fields: the first is Mathematics. I teach SAT math, GRE math, GMAT math, college algebra, geometry, trigonometry and some statistics. I am good at both in class teaching and software assisted online learning.

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring.
What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of ... read more

I am a PhD graduate in computer engineering. My research is on applied math. I am proficient in teaching Probability & Statistics calculus, algebra and other math related subjects. I have had experiences teaching Math and computer science to undergraduate students.
I am a considerate and patient teacher. I relate theory to practical scenarios when I teach. My objective of teaching is to make sure that the students understand the subject. I have an interactive session with my students asking them questions and allowing them raise their doubts. This way students get a vivid understanding of the subject and are attentive throughout the tutoring session.

Education, youth and adult continuing education are great passions of mine. I believe that every student has the capacity to learn and has room for improvement. I don't believe that education has to be dull and I value creative approaches to learning, all the while keeping a keen eye on the task at hand. I throughly enjoy learning each student's individual personality and strive to find ways to make material approachable, relevant and practical. Sometimes the "trick" is just to relate to what they already know and love. Key educators made a profound impact on my life and it's my simple desire to continue to do the same for others.
I place a high value on practical education. I graduated high school at the top of my class and received my AA degree just a few of months later- all while working full-time. I then obtained my BA in Organizational Management and I am now in a loca ... read more

As an educator, I strive to discern the individual needs of each student and tailor my approach accordingly. I use my communication skills and extensive experience to explain concepts in such a way that each student can understand. Building confidence is my strong suit, and kids sense that I really care about them. I'm patient, compassionate and have a sense of humor. I firmly believe that every student can learn, and I have a track record to prove that.
I began teaching remedial math and English skills to college age students/returning Vietnam vets in Colorado in the 1970's. Since that time, I have tutored kids of all ages in those same skills. Knowing first hand how difficult it is to "re-learn" basic skills, I have a great passion to help kids learn correctly at the beginning.

I enjoy tutoring and working with students in the academic environment. I believe students can learn and do well as long as they are taught in the correct ways. I am a very patient, supporting and outgoing person. With my tutoring experience, I am able to explain and break down the difficult concepts to the most basic level. I understand that students have various learning styles. However, I believe to improve their learning skills, all students should frequently review the basic concepts and practice the problems that they are having difficulties with. I am available to not only help students learn but also to give them the support they need.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy tutoring students of all ages. When a student reaches the moment of understanding and a smile comes across his or her face, my heart is filled with a certain level of satisfaction that is indescribable. My hope is to facilitate this process of understanding the best that I can. Thus, my teaching style is relatively lax and often humorous in nature in order to mitigate any intimidation that may accompany learning. I try different approaches to explain a concept, often referring to common everyday examples to simplify more technical ideas. I understand that not every student learns in the same manner or at the same rate, so I will cater my teaching style to the individual student.
As a pre-dental student from Seattle University, I have created my own goals for a successful education. I am on track for earning two degrees, a BS in Mathematics and a BS in General Science. ... read more
